Hey... are any of you guys still doing IM? (How 1998.) I just rejoined it, my name is "fitzmcstab"... we can totally chat n' shit! Ohh, I'm already tired of IM and I haven't any done any yet.
Count every one of your blessings...

...that you never had to sit through the worst piece of shit movie ever made: The Cat in the Hat. I am stuck at the Marston's watching this thing and I swear, I have never seen something worse that this. I hate it. I hate it so much. Like the kind of hate and horrible feeling that you think will never end and then muse, "this must be what hell is like", kind of hate. I hate it.

It is just the fucking worst piece of peanut and corn filled, shitty piece of fucking shit ever.

I hate it.

I have to agree with you on that one Rude. Flour soft tacos just dont cut it. I almost always go to burroito given the choice.

Stupid Reagan crap is still on TV. You'd think a train full of gandhi's crashed into Mother Teresa's House killing everyone. I think news networks need something other than Iraq to report on.

jack in the box (or JBX in san diego) always made some of my favortite dirty-ass tacos. it's not even close to "beef" in those things, but whatever that meat-like shit is, i love it - and in those tiny fried little shells - the shit. soft tacos are cool too, but i think id take a burrito over a soft tako anyday.
I have returned to SF

I had a really good time in LA. Really busy I worked about 80 hours in a span of 8 days. I really enjoyed the work I got to do. Still have more to do, so I will be making a trip down again. I just dont know when though.

I am not a huge fan of Soft Tacos truth be told. I do often like corn tortilla soft tacos, but not flour. I really like crunchy, especially at a place that does them right. Like Jon said. Fried taco shells are pretty good, if not terribly unhealthy.

I generally prefer soft tacos at restaurants. Taco Bell-esque crispy shells are especially gross.

But with homemade tacos, deep-fried corn tortillas are the sh1t.
I never understood why people eat crunchy hard shell tacos

It's not even good!!! feels like your eating nachos with crap in em.

Soft tacos are waaay better.
I wounded my throat while eating a taco.

Fuck!!

Good Article Rude.

Though, it fails to mention the horrors that he committed on AIDS patients by doing fucking nothing because he was homophobic. It also fails to mention that he ruined our environment because of Reaganomics, where he gave huge tax breaks to large companies and lowered standards on polution. As far as I can tell, the fucker didn't die soon enough. Why do all of these politicians suck?

Reaganomics killin' me, Reaganomics killin' me, Reganomics killin' me, Reaganomics killin' YOU! - DRI

Traffic school is the blurst

I'm surprised you elected to attend a real traffic class instead of the online "fake" traffic school. I really do mean fake.
I guess with the online school, you don't get to enjoy watching the whole social ineptitude thing with the German Yatze which sounds like a load of laffs.

Hey Southern Californians, I'm planning on visiting my cousin sometimes between june 21st and june 29th down in LA, so if anyones free, i'm open to some good gaming or a beach run.

Last saturday, supposedly the apex of cherry picking season, I picked cherries over at Brentwood only to find that cherry season came early this year. To my chagrin I was two weeks late, and the cherries were mostly shriveled, almost rotting, much like Joan Crawford. Not to waste a road trip, I ate a whole bunch which made me sick with diahrea the entire day, and I am still feeling quite ill.

That's what i've been up to. Thinking about barbequen this weekend.

Hogwarts awaits!

Looks like Leslie and I are going to England for a vacation, 10 days or so. Leslie's boss is taking the family to Europe for 3 weeks and Leslie is also out of school, and I have no game store opened yet, so it looks like it might be one of our last opportunities for a long vacation, so we are doing it! We will be missing Dr. Anderson as he will be in Italy when we are in England, but that just figures, donnit? We will be gone July 2nd through the 13th, FYI. I hope our plane doesn't crash, I would hate that.

- We are going to Games Workshop central to get a pint at their bar/gameroom and buying some dwarven themed pint mugs while I am there, any other takers, Denis?

- Where should we go in Cambridge Mike?

- Want to stay at our place again Jon?

- Game of Thrones is getting better, I am still having trouble keeping track of all the characters and their relation to one another, and who would want to kill whom and why or why not, but that matters little. I just got to the point where the fat kid just took up the black and he got his ass kicked by the other kid at the command of their instructor. Great for me.

- Memoir '44 (M44) shipped monday, I should see mine by the end of the week! Then I can get on making a magnet version to take to Europe with me to play by myself...

- Denis, Ryan, Eric and Aaron had a rousing game of Halo a few days ago. Lots of rockets, lots of jumping jeeps, lots of fun. Still a great game!

That is all.

"Now, we will find out who is the better race."


My goodness, those were some pretty funny hi-lights. Between what you got from traffic school, and that story you told me about the "hulk hands", i swear you could put together a whole friggin' collection of funny/sad/awkward stories.

Dennis: Awesome hanging with you at the con - now please make the cartoons for jon so we can make that friggin' movie already! :)

What's the rest of the gang been up to?

Fuck. That's one day down the tubes.

I spent the day at "Pizza For You Comedians 2" traffic school today. They had
a) no comedy
b) no pizza.

The instructor was this really old guy, based on his description of his WW2 service and the length of his retirement he's at least 78. I mean, holding up well for 78, but come on. He occasionally told a random joke or two, but no more than the other, normal traffic school I went to years ago.

His nemesis was this guy who totally looked and acted like some Eastern European F.O.B. He had really ratty shorts and T-shirt, beaten black velcro sneakers, and a perpetually hunched posture. He had this horrible uncut shaggy hair with a rat tail. He always SPOKE REALLY LOUD and had this bizarre accent. He also was completely oblivious to all of the old man's jokes.

Near the end of the class the old man gave everybody a really tiny slip of paper and said, "Now, write an essay containing everything you learned today." (Pause for laffs.) "OK. Now, we're going to do a quick multiple choice quiz on it."

Yokel: "I HAFFEN'T FINISH MY ESSAY YET! I HAFFEN'T FINISH MY ESSAY YET! I HAFFEN'T FINISH MY ESSAY YET!"

When we all learned there was no pizza and we had to get our own lunch, we all started walking out in a group. The yokel started hitting on the cutest girl in the class, this tall blonde who was in for cutting into the carpool lane. Everybody announced their lunch plans and there was a moment when the blonde realized that she was basically going to spend lunch alone with this yokel. My God, I will remember the expression on her face for a long time.

Then the yokel said that he was Israeli, but had been born and raised in LA. How do people grow up in this city and still turn out like that?

There were a couple of other parts that were good. The old man had the class play a traffic school version of Hollywood Squares, but he didn't know any of the rules so it just turned into this long, awkward debate. Later he told us we were going to play a boys vs. girls game and told us, "Now, we will find out who is the better race."

And there was this exchange:

OLD MAN to WOMAN 1: Now, is there any excuse for you to kill her? (Pointing to WOMAN 2.)
WOMAN 1: No.
OLD MAN: But what if she was a Nazi soldier with a hand grenade? She could throw her grenade at you and kill ten American soldiers. Then you'd have to kill her if she was in your sights, wouldn't you?
WOMAN 1: I guess so.
WOMAN 2: That's depressing.
